The AtuaTt.Aancaster Case ora
Trfal-Other Cases.

The City Circuit Court was engaged
the greater portion of the day yester-
day trying the case Of William A.
Stuart rs. L \. Lancaster. The trial
was begun in the morning, but the
train on which were some OF the non
resident witnesses being delayed, the
case had to be adjourned soon after
noon until ! =. NJ, when it was re-
suned. The evidence was fully heard,
the case argued, and submitted be-
tween 6 and 7 o'clock. The jury after
retiring for short while returned una
be to agree upon a verdict, ana were
adjourned until 10 o'clocl, tomorrow
morning.
Ibis is an action brought to recover
from Lancaster about 31O0o, the
amount of a note which he endorsed
when owning one-fourth interest i'll the
White Sulphur Springs. He claims
that the money should have been paid
out of the springs earnings also, that
he was never notified OF the protest or
knew that the note was in existence un-
paid until four years and eleven months
after it was executed, when he received
notice OF the suit. Not long after en-
dorsing the note Mr. Lancaster sold
out at al advance of several thousand
dollars, and severed his connection
with the springs company. The plain
tiff claims that there were no earnings
from which to pay the note, and that
Mr.. Lancaster is bound for his fourth
of the entire obligation.

WAsHEGToN, July 9.-There were
more developments to-day in the case
Of Oscar J. Harvey, Treasury chief Of
division, now under arrest for forgery
and other fraudulent practices. 1t
seems that while he was acting as chief
Of the horse claims division he discOy-
cred about twenty old cases in which all
the necessary papers had been perfect
oil, but which had never been finally
considered, because Of the press Of
other business, and also because no one
seemed to be particularly interested in
them. Harvey took charge OF them
himself, aud, under the assumed name
Of Wv. W. Wynn, attorney, addressed
several letters to the Third Auditor,
urging their immediate consideration.
Harvey then secured their allowance
by the accounting officers by means Of
counterfeit stamps and forged sigma
lures, which had been so successfully
employed by him in other cases. These
claims amounted to S2, $50, and checks
for that amount were sent to the myth
cal Wynn, and in that way came into
the hands of Harvey, who had no diff
ficulty whatever in securing their pay
ment at the Citizens National Bank OF
Washington. He forged the necessary
endorsements to the checks and then
added his own name. This new dis
coyery swells the total amount fraudu-
lently secured by Harvey TO 81, 700.

Impressions Of the Gettysburg Trip
Kinds Words for the Blue

Captain L. p. Reeve, commander OF

day received the following letter from
Mrs. G. +. Pickett:
% GRANT PLACE, !
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 8, 1887.
Captain T.. p. Rccvo, Commander Of
.Pickctt's DiUiSion association
Nv Dear Captain, -Permit me,
through your kindly offices, TO convey
10 the gallant men of Pickett's division
my heartfelt thanks for the more than
regal entertainment extended me
and my son on the occasion OF The
recent roanion at Gettysburg. And
not only 10 our own brave boys, but to
the gallant ex-soldiers and citizens Of
PENNSYLVANIA are We indebted for
courtesies that can never be forgotten,
Words cannot convey our gratitude,
and time cannot ef1ace the hallowed
memories OF the events Of July 2, 3.
and 4, 1887. Regal entertainment
has its expression in lavish ex-
pendi,ure of money-empty display OF
pomp and splendor-but our entertain
ment was lavish expenditure of soul ;
q display of chiyslry and heartfelt
rivalry, wherein the men OF Pennsyl-
vania We'd with our own cherished sons
in doing honor TO us-not for any merit
Of our own, but in memory OF the
brave, chiyalric soldier and loving and
devoted husband and father-your own
loved and loving commander, who has
gone TO his reward.
Please convey to al ms far as posi-
bic, in manner most cOngenial to your
self, the thanks We fail to find words TO
express, being assured, however, that
We will feel that the measure OF our
cup of Joy Will Dc full and running
over. As result OF the renni0n the
bitternesses Of the past are buried, and
the brave and loyal hearts Of both
North and South are firmly cemented
in the bonds Of union under the old
Stars and Stripes, the emblem of our
fathers, in defence Of which, ct home
and on foreign soil, the sons of the
South have fought as valiantly as an
der our loved and cherished Stars and
Bars, now laid away, sacred only to
memory.
Invoking Gods choicest blessings, |
am faithfully and Loyalty yours,
Mrs. GEORGE f. PICKETT.
